FAQ

What software is available for the board?
The software images that we provide and maintain are: Debian Linux for microSD card; Android for microSD card; Android for NAND memory (if your board has NAND). The board is able to run a lot of other custom-made Linux distributions. Please visit the WIKI and the GitHub pages of A13-OLinuXino to find latest images we officially provide and also links to 3rd party Linux images.

There is no Android on the NAND memory! The boards with NAND used to have Android already loaded! What happened?
We no longer load Android on the NAND memory of the boards. You can upload Android following the FAQ section of the wiki article of your board.

I bought A13-LCDxx but when I connect it to the A13-OLinuXino I receive no image on the display. What do I do wrong?
The default A13-OLinuXino image is set for a VGA display and 800x600 resolution. To use LCD with A13-OLinuXino you need to upload a new image with the appropriate settings. The download links for the images may be found in the wiki article for A13-OLinuXino: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A13-OLinuXino

I bought A13-LCDxx and the SD card that has a Linux image written on it. However the resolution I see on my VGA/LCD is not correct. What am I missing?
You would need to change the configuration file in the main partition of the SD card. Detailed information and download locations for the script files might be found at: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Configuration_of_hardware_in_the_debian_image
